DREW COOPER
Drew Cooper was born in Springfield, IL and his midwest upbringing and values have followed him ever since. When he was 11 years old his family moved out to Tucson, AZ where he came into contact with the southwest culture and lifestyle. Heavily influenced by Garth Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, The Band, Cross Canadian Ragweed and Chris Ledoux, he has managed to find his own sound in a sea of similarity. Constantly growing and moving toward autonomy while maintaining a connection to his roots.
Drew is a story teller with a graveled voice that conveys his connection to the songs he sings whether original or covers. His size and energetic performance give him a stage presence that is difficult to forget.
Son, Brother, Husband and most importantly Dad are all proud names bestowed upon Drew. You can feel his heart when you see his smile and hear his love for the music in every note he plays. With a charisma that is only second to the pope at a casino, you will always catch Drew smiling, laughing snd entertaining the crowd with all that he’s got.
His forth-coming record, “This Life” is currently being mastered, as he and his team gear up for a three part release of the 18 songs that came out of the legendary Studio 606 - Los Angeles, CA with producer, John Lousteau (Head Engineer for The Foo Fighters).
“Drew Cooper should absolutely be a name to watch out for in chicken fried country rock. Outlaw country radio should be all over this guy.””
“Cooper’s writing, while sitting firmly in the modern country vein, has a lot of the grease and grit of ‘80s Americana rock. There’s a hint of Petty here, a dash of Springsteen there, and a Waylon Jennings-shaped stain covering the whole damn thing.””
“We thought he’d be a gymnast, but he’s getting better at this music thing.””
